I believe Les means:
GLOBALV SELECT DVH15 SET PRESET password

This has obvious security implications, but it does work.

Setting the other GLOBALV (whose value I forget) just tells DIRMAINT EXEC not 
to prompt for a password, in which case nothing works, as the SVM still wants 
one.

No, he's talking about
GLOBALV SELECT DVH15 SET NEEDPASS NO

Remember, this is pseudo-client server.  The client (CMS user side) needs
to know to not prompt for the password (hence the GLOBALV variable in the
user side) and the server needs to know to not require a password (hence the
NPW0 option)

Sounds like Jim has done everything on the server side, now he needs to
set the globalv variable in each of his admins accounts.


There basically are two flags, that have two values each, giving a total of
4 states - 2 functioning correctly (Client-promptserver-prompt;
client-nopromptserver-noprompt), 1 broken (client-nopromptserver-prompt) and
1 annoying (client-promptserver-noprompt).  Jim sounds like he's in the
annoying category.

I've never thought of Jim as annoying, but if you say so  ;-)
